The 43rd Annual Group Meeting (AGM) of the All-India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on vegetable crops concluded successfully at the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU). The three-day scientific event, held from March 3 to 5, brought together prominent scientists, researchers and policymakers from across the country to discuss advancements, challenges and future strategies in vegetable crop research.

The final day of the AGM featured intensive discussions and technical sessions aimed at advancing research programmes designed to enhance vegetable productivity, nutritional security, and sustainability.

Delegates also visited PAU’s demonstration and experimental trial plots, where ongoing research on high-yielding, disease-resistant and climate-resilient vegetable varieties was showcased.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
